Review: ALWAYS WATCHING / by Lynette Eason

Bestselling author Lynette Eason kicks off a new romantic suspense series featuring a female-owned agency of female bodyguards.

In Always Watching, Olivia Edwards, part owner of the agency, learns one of her employee bodyguards is severely injured in the line of duty. Her employee was protecting Wade Savage, a radio psychiatrist, from a stalker, possibly a rabid fan. Olivia takes over bodyguard duty and tries to discover the stalker’s identity before the violence against Wade turns deadly.

Olivia’s team works around the clock to protect Wade, as the threats to Wade and his family — even Olivia — increase in intensity. Is the stalker behind everything that is happening to them? Is it more than a crazed fan? Can they stop the mastermind’s ultimate plan?

As always, Eason is a superb storyteller, weaving plot twists with her character development. Her fast-paced action keeps the reader on the edge-of-their-seat, with a realistic plot, grabbing the reader’s attention until the very end. The romance and faith are present but not overpowering. Violence in the story is appropriate but not too graphic.

Always Watchingvaries slightly from other romantic suspense novels because it features a woman carrying a gun on its cover. Kudos to Ms. Eason for trying something new on the cover! Without Warning (book 2) is coming out in late summer 2016.
